Temperatures are heating up again across Ohio.

Be sure to stay hydrated, wear protective clothing if you are outdoors, and try to spend time in a place that has air conditioning, such as a library, senior center, or a friend's home, if your home does not have AC.

And be sure to check on your older adult family, friends, and neighbors.
